When wildfires suppress crime
Natural disasters can fundamentally disrupt the social and physical environments of urban areas, reshaping the conditions under which crime occurs. This study examines how major wildfires have influenced crime patterns across Los Angeles County, CA, from 2015 to 2025. Drawing on opportunity-based frameworks from environmental criminology, we assess how displacement, guardianship disruptions, and land-use change after wildfires can alter spatial a…

The relative and joint effects of gunshot detection technology and video surveillance cameras on case clearance in Chicago
Research Summary Closed‐circuit television (CCTV) video surveillance cameras and gunshot detection technology (GDT) have been widely adopted by police departments in recent years. Most evaluation research on CCTV and GDT has tested the technologies’ effect on crime prevention rather than case clearance rates. The current study contributes to the literature through a matched quasi‐experiment of the relative and joint effect of GDT and CCTV on fata…

‘Top 10’ policing as an alternative place-based strategy
Recent trends in crime and place research emphasize a micro-level focus on the concentration, stability, and patrollability of crime hot spots. Empirical findings consistently suggest that hot spots are disproportionate in crime concentration, are time stable, and have high crime reduction potential for place-based interventions. Due to a growing literature on hot spot identification techniques, research may be overcomplicating and underestimatin…
Program data for studying Policing and militarization
The 1033 Program involves the transfer of military equipment to law enforcement agencies across the United States. The Program allows law enforcement unparalleled access to a variety of military equipment for discretionary use. Owing to issues of data, not much is known about the impact of 1033 on relevant law enforcement strategies and outcomes; including how much equipment an agency has, how the equipment is used, and the impacts of the equipme…

The Influence, Saliency, and Consistency of Environmental Crime Predictors
Environmental criminological research includes several perspectives that explain how characteristics of the environment can lead to crime. This study simultaneously integrated these different perspectives, including crime generators and attractors and environmental disorder indicators, to determine the most influential, salient, and consistent predictors of micro-level crime hot spots in Indianapolis, Indiana. Hot spot and control units were comp…
Situational factors and police use of force across micro‐time intervals
The current study analyzes police use of force as a series of time‐bound transactions between officers, civilians, and bystanders. The research begins with a systematic social observation of use‐of‐force events recorded on police body‐worn cameras in Newark, New Jersey. Researchers measure the occurrence and time stamps for numerous participant physical and verbal behaviors. Data are converted into a longitudinal panel format measuring all observ…
The effect of the Seattle Police‐Free CHOP zone on crime
Research Summary Nightly confrontations occurred between protestors and officers outside of the Seattle Police Department's (SPD's) East precinct in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder. On June 8, 2020, the SPD abandoned the East precinct in an attempt to calm the situation. Following closure of the precinct, the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest (CHOP) took hold in the surrounding 6‐block area. The CHOP occupation lasted until July 1, 2020. Ove…
Environmental Predictors of a Drug Offender Crime Script
The extent to which environmental context has been considered when developing crime scripts has been limited to descriptions of the locations offenders visit during the crime. This research contributes a description of the environmental characteristics of an open-air drug market and identifies environmental facilitators and inhibitors toward offender actions during a drug-selling crime script. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage is co…
Understanding the Predictors of Street Robbery Hot Spots
This study examines the environmental predictors that classify street robbery hot spots and control street segments in Indianapolis. Empirical controls were generated by matching each hot spot to a corresponding set of zero-crime control and low-crime control units. Then, units were evaluated based on the presence of crime generators and attractors, which were downloaded from open data sources and spatially joined to the street segments, and diso…
Crime control effects of a police substation within a business improvement district
Research Summary The current study analyzes the crime reduction effect of a police substation operating within a business improvement district in Newark, New Jersey. Synthetic control methods were used to create a control group that was statistically equivalent to the cumulative street units in the target area. Significant reductions of burglary and motor vehicle theft were observed in the target area as compared with a synthetic control area ove…
